Little Miss Spoiled c:

That's the first question the latest infidelity studies point to. The second is: If you cheated on your spouse, would you even admit it to a researcher?

Historically, the male sex gets most of the flak when it comes to infidelity among spouses. But that could be due to those tired old gender roles we're cast in. A recent New York Times report implies that women may simply be more likely to lie about it for that very reason. Research professor of anthropology at Rutgers Helen E. Fisher suggests that, “Men want to think women don’t cheat, and women want men to think they don’t cheat, and therefore the sexes have been playing a little psychological game with each other.” Fun!

“Is it that men are bragging about it and women are lying to everybody including themselves?” she asks. Makes sense. After all, it's no secret that the widely held double standard that men who cheat are "studs" while women are "sluts" is still disturbingly prevalent.

Still, the changes in the landscape of cheating have surprised researchers who have found that infidelity is on the rise and "women appear to be closing the adultery gap: younger women appear to be cheating on their spouses nearly as often as men."

That's not to say that the guys are entirely off the hook. Medical advances like Viagra and erectile dysfunction remedies ensure that those with XY chromosomes can cheat longer and um, stronger. But when it comes to the younger set, women may be finding more opportunities to cheat via interoffice affairs and the good 'ole World Wide Web. While men might be content to "stray" by looking at porn--a relatively benign form of infidelity in the grand scheme of things--Atlanta psychiatrist Dr. Frank Pittman notes that he's observed more women acknowledging sexual affairs that began with electronic contact born out of the desire to emotionally connect with someone on a more intimate (and therefore stereotypically "feminine") level.

So yes, it would appear that women certainly cheat more than they're usually given credit for. (Of course, who wants to take credit for something as damaging as an extramarital affair?) But when it comes to our original second question pertaining to the idea that the fairer sex is more likely to lie about it due to societal double standards, one wonders if the modern woman has just become more open about her transgressions than in the past?

In the absence of hard and fast numbers--as opposed to all this admittedly speculative research--when it comes to adultery, here's the real question for the ladies out there: Have you ever cheated and well, kept mum about the damn thing? (As opposed to say, bragging about your conquests in the locker room or whatever?)

First dates are stressful, period. You don't want to lie or stretch the truth per se, but you also don't want to send your date running off to hail a cab before you've even ordered the cheese plate. Basically, the goals of a successful first date are to reveal that adorable, endearing part of yourself, learn more about the stranger sitting across from you, and to see if there is any connection between you two crazy kids. Obviously, it's important to be honest, but some of the more intimate parts of you are well, sorta personal, and no one's forcing you to spill all the beans. (Besides, everybody is intrigued by a little mystery and you want to save something for the second and third dates, right?) We don't really believe there are any hard and fast rules when it comes to dating, and despite what movies would have you think, there is no such thing as the "perfect date," so take these with a grain of salt. Still, here's hoping you find a couple of them helpful, and good luck out there.

1. "My ex is crazy."
There's a fine line between love and hate, but both are equally fueled by passion. If someone even mentions their ex on a first date, watch out, you could be entering into a three-way relationship. Brace yourself: drama ahead! Anyway, if you're not over your ex, keep it to yourself. Your date certainly doesn't want to hear about it.

2. "I would like to get married and have kids asap."
Slow. That. Roll. Whether you're a man or a woman, uttering those words automatically puts pressure on an already delicate, stressful meeting, not to mention the fact that it's a foolproof way to scare someone off and fast.

3. "Who are you voting for?"
There's a saying in the south about not bringing up politics or religion in polite company. Plenty of couples don't always share political (or religious) views, and learn to make things work. But when you're trying to make a good first impression, it's probably best to avoid overly emotional topics in order to avoid a sparring match. (Look at it this way, if you become a couple, you'll have plenty of opportunities to fight later!)

4. "Can you pay the check? I'm broke."
Hey, the economy is in the toilet. Of course you're broke. We're all broke. But common courtesy dictates that the person who did the date asking offer to pay the bill. Chances are, if your date has good manners, they'll offer to split it or pay the tip. Let's face it, gone are the days where the guy automatically must pay for dinner or he's a loser. But no matter what the circumstances are, flat out asking your date to pay the bill is a major turn-off.

5. "What's your favorite TV show?"
C'mon, we can do better than that. Asking about hobbies and other interests can lead to great conversation, but the last message you want to convey is that your favorite activity is watching the tube with a tub of ice cream. Save talking about "America's Next Top Model" for the work water cooler or something.

6. "Where did you go to school?"
Believe it or not, many people didn't go to college, and totally resent being put on the spot with this tired old question. And while plenty of grads are happy to wax on and on about their "glory years" or whatever, it's probably better to ask something like, "Have you always lived here?" "How did you choose your career?" or another more general question that might lead you to discussing educational background. Again, it may seem strange, but for all kinds of reasons, a lot of people have negative knee-jerk reactions to this seemingly innocuous question.

7. "Can I take your picture?"
Creepy much? But yeah, I have girlfriends who've been waylaid by this gem. For real. Maybe it's the thought of him showing his buddies your photo and bragging about bagging you, or even the image of him fawning over your pic tacked up on one of those cray-cray serial killer wall collages. Either way, ick.

8. "I'm poly-(fill in the blank)"
There are folks who are polyamorous (def: the desire, practice, or acceptance of having more than one loving, intimate relationship at a time with the full knowledge and consent of everyone involved); polygamist (def: the practice of marriage to more than one spouse simultaneously); and yes, some are even polyester salesmen (def: dudes who peddle chintzy wares). Right then. Unless you met that person on a "special" site devoted to that kind of stuff, chances are your date won't appreciate your um, open-minded ways.

9. "So I just got out of rehab."
So maybe you have some personal problems you've been working on. Perhaps you've been in therapy since you were 13 years old. Whatever the case may be, it's probably best not to introduce your new romantic interest to your BIG, SCARY ISSUES, at least not yet. Everybody has problems big and small, but the first date is more about showing off your personality, not painting yourself as a psychotic addict (even if you are, just a smidge). Note: If you are seriously in the midst of a personal crisis, and that includes excessive drug use and/or major psychological treatment, not to be all judgey, but you probably shouldn't be on a date right now.

10. "So ya wanna come back to my place?"
Not everyone is old-fashioned about first dates. The right time to sleep with someone is up to you, but numerous informal polls, um, around the office show that when a guy propositions a woman for sex on the first date, she tends to get skeeved, and when a girl does the same, many dudes are likely to file her in the one night stand category. Double standard? Sure. And yes, some couples do have sex on the first date and there is nothing wrong with that. But I think you know what I'm sayin'...

How do you stay organized?

The question of the day was a setback itself for me. Well for most, I'm not an organized person and Ms. Organizer is not me. I plan things but apparently, it'll drive me more to pursue a thing that isn't exactly what I intend to do. I seldom arrange my clothes and stuffs. I never sort out my personal belongings from those of I don't possess. I am simply not into ordering things and the like.

I am nonchalant and certain of my position in the society though. I survived in my own perception of time management and embarking workloads. I may not be well-coordinated but I can be my own great enigma of victory because I am still breathing and yanking! LOL. ;D

It is nearly the end of the semester and for us students, it is a nightmare! Running Laude students or was assessed as having a good standing may not share the sentiments of those who are still uncertain of their status and will not mark off  on their expected time of graduation.
Gladly, my two subjects (one major and a GE subject) have already leveled off and I'm positive of the grade that I will be receiving. Usually, a cunning student and whom alike, accustomed of cramming and dealing with difficult subject matter properly are successfully finishing the entire semester without failing marks and incomplete requisites. Although they have not made it to the honor roll, still, the most rewarding was passing the more or less 5-6 months of overwhelming courses and a good rundown of grades.
In the University of the Philippines Los Banos Laguna, semestral break is approaching within the last week of this month. Unfortunately, there are subjects that are yet to be finished in its utmost rush discussions while preserving the integrity and quality of education, and it is so exhausting for both the professors and the students themselves because make-up classes, double-time explication and jam-packed exams need to be accomplished in a very short period of time. Afterwhich, the proceeding week is destined for the finals and the week after is for removal cases. Students have no choice of unwanting to take those requirements because it is their only key to surpass the challenging environment of being the PRIME and EXCELLENT learning institution they are into.
The whole week might be your luck or not. However, it's still depends on you on how are you going to handle your own nuisance and be able to survive in it. Remember that on whatever grounds, the deed you have exemplified will effects most. Don't fret and try to sit back in your most consoling yet agreeable guard. In times like this, a good sense of constructive thinking and composed thoughts will always get you out of the trouble. Keep fighting, keep dreaming! GO MAROONS! c:

I want to share you this wonderful song that kept on humming in my mind for a long time. I think it's good. Here is the lyrics.. Enjoy! c:

Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(You should know better?)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(You should know better?)
I made a pilgrimage to save this human race
(You should see why)
Never comprehending the race had long gone by
(I'll stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)
I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world)

If you were born the opposite sex, what would your name be?

Well, that would be "Sebastian".. hehe.. ;O i don't know but i kinda like the sound of it. Actually, that name was inspired by the movie "She's the man" of Amanda Bynes and Channing Tatum. The whole casting was great and I even wanted to thank the director for naming the characters so unique and mass appealing.

Here are the list of names of some characters that have portrayed in the movie. In case you want to watch the movie, check that out in your nearest video rental shop or simply surf the internet and you will find it.

Amanda Bynes stars as Viola Hastings

Channing Tatum as Duke Orsino

Laura Ramsey played Olivia Lennox

Robert Hoffman as Justin Dreyton

JAMES KIRK as SEBASTIAN HASTINGS

Jonathan Sadowski as Paul Antonio

Alex Breckenridge as Monique Valentine

See? Well, if you still don't agree with me, okay just let me be. c: Sebastian for me is an awesome name for a guy!

To all the girls out there who are still struggling so hard to win the trust and affection of their boyfriend's family, especially his parents, keep your eyes and ears close to this writing. I don't know if you were really experiencing this dilemna or you just felt something was wrong in the course of your relationship, however, this blog would provide you some suggestions and/ or solutions to your queries.
The thing that makes a girl and a boy different does not define their capabilities. It is not therefore a basis whether a girl is treated special or a boy will succumb everything to please the people around him. Well normally, girls and the things which surrounds her are most pursued by guys. Girls serve as their princess and whatever she demands, guys MUST comply. Usually this set-up is seen in every relationship today. Moreover, there are this types of relationship wherein girls are being enslaved by their man. She can't demand and whatever happens, guys will be their standard of authority. Tracing back from our prehistoric times, the early Filipinos from which young sprouts of the Malayan culture has been rooted, the whole family including the extended relatives are being courted by the guy. This tradition was a bestseller to capture a woman's heart. During these times, any guy that would pronounce his love to a girl that he laid upon his eyes to should undergo a certain "panunuyo" for the family to be able to achieve their respect and acceptance. Usually, the father's or the elder brothers' work will be dispensed to the guy for him to serve and contribute relief to the whole family. He would not be instructed but normally, a wooing guy would take the initiative to fill in the jobs of his assisting family. After some time, the awaited "YES!" will be entrusted to the guy and right there and then, a new and long lasting relationship will begin.
A thrilling and exhausting experience are the ways in which our ancestors achieved their treasured relationship up to this day. It is just so amazing that our grandfathers had undergone a lot of sacrifices to earn the respect and love of our grandmothers.
Today, girls are not anymore well-trailed by guys. The usual "panunuyo" of guys are also practiced nowadays by women. The only difference is that they don't have the same weight of sacrifices because boys will still focus on the dirty jobs and girls will dwell on kitchen works and house keeping. With the advent of modernity, girls have already persisted the new scheme of earning values in the relationship she's into. A girl should do her move also to get the attention and approval of her boyfriend's family. Not all the times that a guy would render himself for the betterment of his relationship with the girl, but the girl must also bequeath her title for her man and with her nature, it will be very difficult.
I may not be helpful on you in this part but I will give you some tips to at least strengthen the ties between you and your boyfriend's family. Cooking them food, shopping with them until you dropped, singing your heart out during their gatherings or treating them in an affluent, classy restaurant/ salon might lend you a big hand in order for them to like you, but in case, just in case you don't possess any impressive qualities, here are some saving tips to get you out of your comfort zone and deal with them properly.
> Don't try to impress your boyfriend's family because they will just be happy you have it but they won't recognize you for the deed.
> Never say "NO" especially when they offer you something because for them it will serve as an insult.
> Always wear a smile whenever you happen to saw them or when you visit them.
> Do talk to them and share something you had experienced in your life.
> Don't ever shut yourself out in a corner because they wouldn't really care if you were not mingling with them.
> Be smart and confident when answering their questions.
> Find their favorites and deepest desire, if you found it, give it to them as a present but if you are broke, showing some interest on that subject matter would bail you out.
> Be present whenever they hold gatherings and parties. Exempt yourself during personal family affairs, in case they allowed you to join, grab it!
> Engage yourself in their form of lifestyle, never set your own style of living.
> Love their son with your whole heart and show them you'll do everything for him.
>Lastly, be true to yourself!

Haha!. :o I guess my suggestions would cater several options on how to handle relationships with your boyfriend's family. It is still up to you if you will take my advices, the result of your action will still and will always depend on you. Unfortunately, majority of the failed relationship today accounts not on the same verge our grannies have stumbled upon during their times, but the very same reason that the formation of most haven't earned anything except for the simple "Yes, i can be your girl or I do".
Nearly all boy-girl correlation would commit the same mistake as fall short marriages do. There are chances of survival, but then, the forces of whatever will come uninvited. Some relationships are destined to be over at a certain period of time and the lest it happen, don't press yourself too hard. You cannot work out a relationship if it is really unworkable. You cannot recover a failed relationship if the warmth had already frozen your partner's emotion. Let it settle at the bottom.

When a girl started to act peculiarly, there are only two reasons upstream: either they just want to be noticed more or there is really something wrong going on in the relationship she is into. A girl's devotion for love is entirely different from her man. Girls fall into emotionality while boys stand firm on their potency. Both are identified as opposites. From their biological make-up, physical attributes, capabilities, social behavior up to the class where they belong, both parties are segregated and characterized based on their role in the society. We therefore must recognize that a girl and a boy's mental function vary in a wide perspective of distinction.
In a more general context, the hormonal embodiment of a girl is far more different from a boy thus making them attract. Eros, this time, would do his job to capture both strange hearts coming from a two extremes to a closest colleague. Love easily captures a true heart! c: You might forget everything you've had experienced before, but the feeling which swarmed you right there and then will definitely give you another reason to struggle again. More often than not, a sheer happiness is not always the rejoicing theme of a somber affinity. A series of arguments might circumscribe your entire construction of rapport while the refreshing "kilig" moments you've had first convened gradually withered. Common and most likely to be met are misunderstandings, failed expectations, shortcomings, and other unforeseen circumstances that would certainly marked the beginning of a mature and growing relationship.
Conflicts from wherever, whichever, whoever are unavoidable especially when the bond between has already erected. They say it is natural and all the more healthy, because when arguments are present, exchanging of ideas are exercised. Although sometimes when the intensity of the heated discussions have reached its maximum, one may break out from his forbearance zone and might terribly create an even more serious damage in the relationship. The moment it happened, try to lower down your energy and stay as silent as you can. Save your relationship if you really want to keep it. If you are certain that this girl/boy would complete your completeness and there's nothing even better than her/him, don't dwell and settle on arguing. There are several things which are more important than paying too much attention on rescuing your pride and on winning clashes.Once in a while, look up and howl for a "ceasefire!" Every true and sincere relationship needs a break from all these unstoppable forces of nature. A rewarding and harmonious relationship is peaceful and satisfied.

First semester has already coming to an end. In few weeks time, rush papers, crammed presentations/cases, and examinations would confront students. I'm completely sure that everyone is worried on their status per se. Whether you are graduating on time, running for honors, or simply passing the subjects without a grade of 5.0, it all brings pressure to you. I am a junior forestry student in the University of the Philippines and I must say that I am freaking anxious right now. Although, most of my subjects this semester are passing, I still get uneasy whenever I think of the time I will be graduating. My thesis proposal is not yet finished (actually, I haven't started any), I still have a removal exam to pass, my status on this certain major subject is still undefined because I haven't passed any of its exams, and lastly I don't know if i can afford to conduct my thesis study in Palawan because as a student, it would be very expensive. Hah! :s I really hoped everything will work out just as good as it is. I would really want to graduate on time and I have to labor on that. phw!!! 

How do you know when a relationship has run its course and it's time to call it quits?

A real serious relationship is build through trust and respect. When the two has already waned, the relationship becomes weak and cold. It doesn't matter if you had lasted for a week or for most, a year, but the point is, you'll never know how and why it ended in that way. You may have all the reasons to break up with someone, to call it quits as the question says, however, the moment you realize that you can imagine waking up the next day without this person who always starts and ends your day with his sincerest "I love you", that's exactly the time when the relationship has finally run its course and it has to be stopped. The whole course of a relationship need not to depend on the times you were together, the recurrent ups and downs both are experiencing, and sudden beat of hearts when two bodies have locked. If you can save your relationship from a doomed break up, save it! If you can still fix it, why not give another chance for the love to come back again. I don't believe that a genuine relationship would end just an instant. If it is true, it can be mended in any ways no matter how hard it takes. A serious relationship becomes real when you can look into her eyes and all you can see is she/he means your everything. Being with this person would not only mean your happiness but your absolute sentiment and having this person would not just complete your life but define your existence.
